Julie Hopes

Non Executive Director

I am really pleased to be joining The Simplyhealth Group and to be part of an organisation with such a strong sense of purpose at a time when improving access to healthcare matters so deeply.

Simplyhealth’s long history, purpose-led approach and commitment to simplifying access to healthcare by removing barriers and cost strongly align with my own values. I’m excited by the opportunity to contribute to work that makes a genuine difference to people’s everyday lives.


I have extensive experience across retail financial services and other highly regulated environments, spanning both PLC, mutual and Third Sector organisations. Throughout my career, I have been motivated by a desire to help organisations do the right thing for their customers, colleagues and the communities they serve, and to support thoughtful, long‑term decision‑making.

I am committed to building inclusive, people‑centred cultures and supporting Boards to govern with integrity, clarity and a long-term perspective. I very much look forward to working with colleagues across Simplyhealth as the organisation continues to evolve and support health and wellbeing across the UK.
